Because he will severely fuck up your interest in Physics.

lol mills fucked up my already fucked up interest in physics :(
Akirus:
David Mills? I was going to contact him a while ago about requirements for skipping first year physics, or at least forgoing pre-reqs.
Is the first year physics really that bad? Does it get better?
Ahmad:
Is there a good reason why you'd like to do those topics in 3rd year rather than honours? Taking advanced courses early on isn't necessarily a good thing.

True, but I guess at the moment it's a matter of options (i.e. I can do those topics during third year at ANU, if I want to). It also remains that ANU has opportunities to conduct higher level research earlier.
Cthulhu:
What they teach you at 3rd year in ANU will only be the basics of GR and QFT. You'd still have to wait till honours or masters to do the more advanced stuff.
edit: I don't think you should just cross Monash off the list just yet. Do you do UMEP or MUEP physics? You might be able to get passed first year. And you seem pretty dedicated so if you can't bypass first year you probably won't have to end up going to lectures and you'd find it easy to self-teach. First year physics labs though...... x_x
